It has been 20 years since the ?last? battle between Harry Potter and the Lord Voldemort. Although there were confirmations that Voldemort was destroyed in a flash of light, there were no reports of what happened to Potter and he has not been seen since. After the final battle, his best friends Hermione Granger and Ronald Weasley were married and now live in London where Ronald works for the Ministry of Magic as an Auror and Hermione bases her S.P.E.W Headquarters. Ronald?s little sister and Harry girlfriend, Ginny Weasley has herself been wandering aimlessly from job to job unable to find her place and is currently employed at Borgin and Burke?s, for man years turning down jobs at Hogwarts. In a surprising move 5 years ago Neville Longbottom took over as Headmaster from Minerva McGonnogall, becoming the youngest Headmaster in the school history. Luna Lovegood has assumed the post of Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher and has held it for 6 years, the longest tenured DADA teacher in a while. Draco Malfoy, who turned against the Dark Lord and earned forgiveness by saving Harry?s life is now in charge of Azkaban now. He immediately ordered the execution of all Death Eaters in the prison, including taking care of his father personally. The Muggles have made immense technological leaps almost forcing the magical community to adapt to the changes and assimilate muggle things into their daily lives. An unusual thing is spotted on the outskirts of London that gets people a little jumpy. A cloaked man wearing a mask set a house on fire. Although he was caught, proven to be just a drunken fool, and is currently in Azkaban people a re starting to wonder why he got the idea to dress up as a death eater 20 years after Voldermort?s demise?This story picks in the year 2013.

I will post a CS and introduction later

There Kevin completed his schooling, and became an intern in the Spell Damage Ward. When he was 25, he was asked to come to Hogwarts as a temporary teacher when the previous teacher retired.

When she turned eleven, she received her letter from Hogwarts, and was only too happy to have a reason to even temporarily leave the orphanage?other children picked on her, and she had no close friends. At Hogwarts, she found herself among others who had the same abilities as she did, and she excelled in her studies.

Alright here's the CS for the character I will be playing aside from my GM duties. When we get a few more people I'll give an introduction and we can get this ball rolling.

Name: Martin Golan

Age: 60

Gender: Male

House: Slytherin

Wand: 14 inches, Birch, Chimera Scale, Inflexible

Hair: Wispy Gray (Used to be brown)

Skin: Pale

Looks: Often wears robes of solid white to try to ensure his purity and innocence. He wears a hat to cover his bald spot and usually wears boots made of dragon hide

Special Features (Looks): Wispy Gary hair that seems to stand vertically around the top of his head in a crown shape

Personality:
He is a great teacher of facts and as a result is easy to understand and can get his messages across to audiences who would otherwise be hard to communicate with. He usually prefers to be alone when not teaching because beyond that he has a very failing personality. This leads him to believe that there is more to life than he already knows of. He hopes that one day he can find out what is missing in his life and find the reason for his existence. His questioning personality is only overlapped by his powers of persuasion.
He can persuade anyone to do anything and make people believe things that never happened. This is, in part, due to his interrogation skills and, in part, due to his legilimancy skills. He seems to perceive the truth and therefore people find it difficult to hide things from him. He has also taken to being one of the nosiest people in the wizarding world because of this.

Background:
Martin Golan was born into an Irish family living in England. Along with being the one of the last pure-blooded Irish families in existence, his started to drop into depression and blamed it on the Ministry of Magic. Being the youngest child this made him especially mad because he was used to getting what he wanted. When this happened his parents readily joined Lord Voldemort and returned to Ireland with the children to start a branch of the Death Eaters there. Once he turned legal age he left his family to live with his friend from school Severus Snape who had recently become a Death Eater. He thought Snape was the coolest because of this and couldn?t wait until he could join. Two weeks after discovering Severus? secret he had a change of heart after his entire family was murdered by the Order of the Phoenix in a duel over the Potters. Since that day he saw the error in their ways after he thought about what they were doing. He then became one of the more anti-Voldemort people in society, becoming a member of the Order of the Phoenix, and was delighted when Snape switched sides. He then went into hiding because it was said that although Voldemort was gone his followers would love to have the big-mouth Irishman Martin Golan under their control.
When he came out of hiding after the battle between Harry and Voldemort, he asked if he could teach at Hogwarts. The members of the Order didn?t want this because they felt abandoned them in there time of need by hiding from Voldemort in Belgium for over 30 years and Headmaster Neville Longbottom didn?t like the idea of Martin around young kids because he got a bad feeling from him. In the end Martin was offered a job at Hogwarts as the school?s first Occlumency teacher, a Defense Against the Dark Arts class for 6th and 7th years.

She began going to Hogwarts and the sorting hat and teachers were amazed to find that she was the child of Remus Lupin. Just as with Lupin she was an expert and Defense Against the Dark Arts and were farther ahead in academics than some of their second and third years.

Age: 17

Gender: Male

House: Slytherin

Wand: 10 inch, ebony, phoenix core

Hair: Black, cropped

Skin: Slightly browned caucasian

Looks: Thin face, strong jaw. Big brown eyes.

Special Features (Looks): Nothing extremely distinctive

Personality: Rhys is a genuinely nice guy, despite being a Slytherin. He gets on well with the majority of the pupils, is happy to help new students who are being cornered by a goblin and tends to hang around with the more mature, female students (despite several warnings from the Headmaster)
Although he is generally well liked and popular, he is extremely tightlipped, and no one really knows much about him. However, they don't mind confiding in him as he is a very trustworthy individual.

Family: Rhys was born into a family of wizards and witches. Although not as widely renowned as, say, the Malfoys, his family have a reputation for better than average talent. However he is the first of his family to be placed in Slytherin.

Other Relations: Rhys is friends with the majority of Hogwarts. Teachers admire his work, and pupils admire his heart. However, he has been hanging around some of the more renowned students lately; namely Roxy Tonks , Lily Weasley and Jade Lupin. He also told Professor Golan, whom he often confides in, that luckily none of them have found out about the others yet.

Background: As soon as he was 5, Rhys' mum began teaching him in the simpler spells and potions. At the age of 10, his owl (which his mum had gotten him for his ninth birthday) delivered his invitation to Hogwarts. Obviously he was thrilled to accept.
Upon joining, he had excelled in his studies, and had almost beaten Hermione Granger's records but for a late exam entry due to a severed leg sustained in Quidditch.

Anything Else: Rhys' most prized possession is a long green and black scarf with three letters embroidered around one of its ends: T M R

Please accept my apologies for the interruption; I'd like to take a moment of your time. It would appear that Knaordyi has been absent for a few weeks, which I can only hope and imagine have been spent on an enjoyable or otherwise pleasant vacation peroid. Given that an interest still exists within this game, but there is no GM to lead it, I am happy to approve of a temporary GM to fill this void.

Note that the GM should be voted upon by all active members. A majority vote rules. Once a GM is elected, s/he is free to carry on this game as best they can in the original GM's stead. I would ask that you make an effort to stay true to the vision of Knaordyi, until such time as s/he returns. In the meantime, you have my blessing. I trust you will not disappoint me.
